Chapter 63

Huo Yi accompanied Lin Sansi to feed the child in Qinglan Garden, and the shrill voice of the eunuch in Qianyuan had already sounded, so he told Lin Sansi not to leave the house, and instructed Sister-in-law Li and Lily to take care of Lin Sansi, and then led the rest of the people in the house to the door to greet the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager was supported by the personal palace maid and the grandmother, her half-white hair was combed into a high bun, lining her graceful atmosphere and noble status, she stretched out her hand and made a flat gesture, and her eyes fell on a eunuch chief who hung her head and bent down behind her, the eunuch understood, stepped forward, lifted the dust in her hand, and said: "Today's southern night is happy, the prince's mansion gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, the queen mother thinks of you to take care of it, and give special rewards, all those who have been registered in the prince's roster so far, each of them will be rewarded with ten taels of gold and twenty taels of silver." ”

The maids and servants kneeling on the ground, the low-level ones are about two taels of silver per month, and the higher-level ones are only four or five taels of silver, and the queen mother's big stroke is equivalent to their income for several years.

"Yi'er." The Queen Mother is towards Huo Yi, although she is old, her spirit is already good, and she is even more happy when she learns that she has a great-grandson, and the whole person is like a few years younger. "Let's help the emperor's grandmother to take a look."

"Yes, Grandmother."

Huo Yi supported the Queen Mother, and the two of them walked in the direction of Qinglan Garden, and the palace maids followed closely behind, but they were also separated by a distance of one meter to show respect.

The Queen Mother patted the back of Huo Yi's hand lightly and said, "Yi'er, you really won't let the imperial grandmother worry about it, and when the imperial grandmother sees your mother in the future, it will be good to have an explanation." ”

Maybe she was afraid that Huo Yi would be sad, for Huo Yi's biological mother, the Queen Mother rarely mentioned it, even if she mentioned it occasionally, it was also a passing pass, and on such a happy day today, she suddenly said so, which was also caused by the thoughts in her heart.

Huo Yi's dark eyes narrowed, and he said, "When did my grandson disappoint the imperial grandmother." ”

"Yes, never!" The Queen Mother followed Huo Yi forward, and when she walked to the bridge of the lotus pond, she suddenly said: "Don't you live in Qinglan Garden?" ”

Huo Yi nodded: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Huo Yi deeply, pursed her lips and chuckled: "The weight of this Qinglan Yuan in your heart, others don't know, the imperial grandmother is very clear, you are willing to let Sansi live in it, and you naturally identify her in your heart!" But this girl does hurt people, and it's not in vain that you spoil her so much. After a pause, he said, "The child has also been born, and I have to give her a name." ”

Speaking of Lin Sansi, Huo Yi couldn't help but have a warm smile on the corner of his lips: "Well, my grandson has some plans." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Huo Yi lightly, frowned, and said unintentionally: "According to the emperor's grandmother's liking, it is okay to let her be the crown princess." It's just a national event, and it can't be determined by personal preference, and her current identity is really embarrassing, so it's a bit difficult to give her a proper name and block the mouths of those officials. ”

Huo Yi raised his eyebrows: "The imperial grandmother is reminding her grandson?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "You are very transparent, where to remind the imperial grandmother, the imperial grandmother believes that you have made up your mind." ”

"I can't hide anything from my grandmother." Huo Yi also laughed when he heard this, since he decided that Lin Sansi had thought about making her his wife, but to achieve this point is not achieved overnight, but slowly and step by step.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have guessed Huo Yi's thoughts: "The imperial grandmother is a person from the past, so she naturally knows what you young people value the most, but what you want to give her may not be the best for her, it is very likely to put her on the peak, and there is an abyss under her." The Queen Mother pursed her lips, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and the past experiences made her more open-minded and generous: "Now, the imperial grandmother feels that no matter how noble her identity is, she can't compare to the long-term companionship of a lifetime." ”

Huo Yi heard what the Queen Mother said, and looked at the Queen Mother with black eyes, but before she could think deeply, she heard the Queen Mother say: "Did you enter the palace today to see Prime Minister Pei?" ”

Huo Yi's dark eyes suddenly tightened, and the chill was slightly revealed, which was a few points better than this cold winter. He said, "I see." ”

The Queen Mother wrinkled her eyebrows and said: "At the beginning, Pei Fu did not dissolve the marriage contract, and since you have lifted the ban, he must be going to mention the marriage contract again, what are your plans?" ”

Huo Yi raised his eyebrows, and the Yinglang between his eyebrows was revealed. "My grandson has no intention of marrying Pei Qianjin."

"Yi'er, how can your Imperial Grandmother not know about your intentions?" The Empress Dowager sighed softly, shook her head and said: "It's just that the royal marriage contract is not a child's play, and he is the powerful prime minister, since you were imprisoned, your father and the emperor were sick and lingering on the bed, on the surface, King Liang was in prison, who doesn't know that Prime Minister Pei Cheng is the real master, no matter whose wings he becomes, he will definitely be able to help." ”

The Queen Mother's voice suddenly became low: "If it weren't for Prime Minister Pei's unwillingness to make his daughter a concubine, and King Liang already had a princess, even if Miss Pei refused, Prime Minister Pei would marry Miss Pei to King Liang. ”

Huo Yi lowered her eyes and glanced at the Queen Mother indifferently, although her words were heavy, they sounded like Huo Yi was not without a turnaround.

Huo Yi looked ahead, and the coldness in his eyes was chilling: "If she wants to enter, let her in." ”

The Queen Mother naturally knew that what Huo Yi was talking about was Pei Yulan.

The Queen Mother paused, looking at Huo Yi's eyes full of Yan Sù: "Prime Minister Pei's daughter is not a good type, and the girl who thinks twice is by no means her opponent." ”

Huo Yi pursed his lips and smiled, Rusi's figure looked particularly handsome and cold in the blue brick and snowy prince's mansion: "The grandson of the current Queen Mother, how can he be a good kind?" "If you can't even take care of the woman you love, then what kind of prince is you?!

The Queen Mother looked at Huo Yi seriously, the love in her eyes changed, standing in front of her was her favorite grandson, she always knew that he was different, he was not a soft-hearted person, but he was not a ruthless person in people's mouths, he had his ambitions, and knew that he had endured for many years, but now she was more and more unable to understand him. “…… Are you going to marry her as the crown princess? ”

Huo Yi smiled disapprenously: "Who said that the prince must have a princess?" ”

The Queen Mother became more and more puzzled: "Let her enter the prince's mansion, and she is not the position of the main concubine, can Prime Minister Pei Cheng agree?" ”

Huo Yiying's eyebrows stretched, and the prince and his own nobility and domineering were integrated: "Grandson's concubine, grandson has the final say." ”

"Have you figured out how to do it?"

Huo Yi waved his long sleeves, and said lightly: "My father has been ill for a long time, and he listens to the words of the national teacher the most, if Prime Minister Pei Cheng wants his daughter to enter the prince's mansion, he must pass the national teacher." ”

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up: "National teacher him? ”

"It's the grandchildren's people."

The Queen Mother finally put her mind at ease, in her opinion, Prime Minister Pei Cheng is the best person to help Huo Yi ascend to the throne, but in her selfish heart, she doesn't want Huo Yi to marry someone she doesn't like as the crown princess, so this is the best result. "In this way, the imperial grandmother will be relieved, but everything is more careful."

The Queen Mother suddenly remembered something, and said: "Do you know about this?" If you don't make it clear, there is an inexplicable more Miss Pei in the house, which will inevitably make her heart blocked, she just gave birth to a child, and she is angry and hurts, which also affects the child. ”

"Grandmother Huang rest assured, grandson will naturally make it clear to Sansi." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Huo Yi's lips, "In terms of time, I still need the help of the imperial grandmother." ”

"How can I help?"

"During this time, the grandson wants to accompany Sansi and Xi'er, and the grandson in the palace will not go, if Prime Minister Pei Cheng mentions marriage, the imperial grandmother will block it."

"It's not difficult, Grandmother Huang promised you." The Queen Mother nodded: "However, you also have to promise the imperial grandmother one thing." ”

"Grandmother, please."

The Empress Dowager smiled gently: "You must often take Sansi and Xi'er to the palace to show the imperial grandmother." ”

"Grandson obeys."

The two entered the gate of Qinglan Garden, and Sister-in-law Li was already at the door of the inner room with Lin Sansi in her arms, because Huo Yi repeatedly told him, Lin Sansi did not dare to disobey him, so the place where she stood was inward and sheltered from the wind, and the clothes on her body were also thick, so she naturally did not have to worry about the cold, even so, as soon as Huo Yi saw her figure, a pair of black eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Think twice to welcome the Queen Mother."

Lin Sansi smiled gently at the Queen Mother, and when her eyes came into contact with the chill in Huo Yi's eyes, her heart was cold, and she knew that she hadn't listened to Huo Yi's words, and Huo Yi should be angry.

But after all, the person who came was the Queen Mother and Huo Yi's grandmother, since she was Huo Yi's woman, how could she lie on the bed and wait for the Queen Mother to come and see!

"Hurry up, hurry up." The Queen Mother let go of Huo Yi's hand, and hurriedly went to Fu Lin to think twice, and read in her mouth: "The person who has just given birth, why did he get out of bed, go back and lie down." ”

Lin Sansi was about to say that it was okay, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Huo Yi looking at him coldly, the order in his eyes could not be refused, and his thin lips pursed into a line. nodded honestly: "Thank you Queen Mother." ”

Lily helped Lin Sansi to the couch, half lying on the couch, Sister-in-law Li had already hugged Chenxi out, the little guy had just eaten enough, and now he was sleeping sweetly, and was suddenly picked up, and sent into a strange embrace, the little eyebrows were twisted, and the queen mother who saw it was happy in her heart, and said busily: "Yi'er, this child is very similar to when you were young, the eyebrows, eyes, and nose are exactly the same as when you were a child!" ”

Huo Yi hooked his lips and said in a deep voice: "Imperial grandmother, Chenxi is an orphaned child. ”

"Of course the imperial grandmother knows that it is your child, otherwise what would the imperial grandmother do when she rushed over from the palace?!" The Queen Mother looked at the little person in her arms, her complexion followed Lin Sansi, white and red, and most of her facial features followed Huo Yi, although she was small, she could already see that her eyebrows were bright: "It's really too similar, as soon as the imperial grandmother stands here, it's like going back to more than 20 years ago, when you were just born, the imperial grandmother also hugged you like this." ”

"The Queen Mother, think twice and think that not only does she look alike, but her temperament is also very similar to Her Royal Highness!"

"You can see your temperament at such a young age?" The Queen Mother was suspicious, and when she looked down, she happened to see Chenxi slowly open her eyes, and a pair of big black eyes only glanced at her slightly, and then closed them calmly. The Queen Mother was overjoyed and said: "It's really like it, when I see the mourning family, I look like I am not frightened, and there is no one else except Yi'er!" ”

Everyone in the room laughed at one sentence, only Huo Yi looked at Lin Sansi with heavy eyes, Lin Sansi probably laughed too hard, and it hurt a little under his body, and after laughing a few times, he frowned, his expression was a little unnatural.

Huo Yi walked over, hugged her in his arms, and said softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Sansi saw that the Queen Mother was focused on Chenxi, and didn't pay attention to this, so he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at Huo Yi, and replied in a low voice: "I touched the wound when I laughed just now, it hurts a little, it's okay, I just pay attention, Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Huo Yi said lightly: "In this case, you are not allowed to laugh anymore these days." ”

Lin Sansi looked up at Huo Yi, and saw that his expression didn't seem to be joking, so he couldn't help but say in distress: "Your Highness, you can't control laughter at will, how can you say that if you don't laugh, you won't laugh?" ”

Huo Yi lowered his eyes and asked rhetorically, "Can't you?" ”

Looking at Huo Yijun's messy face, Lin Sansi reacted at this time, didn't he? The one in front of her was notoriously cold, but she remembered that when she first entered the mansion, she hadn't seen Huo Yi smile a few times, but she had been smiling a little more recently. "Okay, I'll try."

Huo Yi pursed her lips and smiled, there was more tenderness in her arrogant face, and she removed a strand of hair from the corner of her forehead, not caring about the other people in the room at all, only Lin Sansi was alone in her sight, and said softly: "Does it still hurt?" ”

Lin Sansi was embarrassed by Huo Yi's gentleness, and lowered his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, it hurt just now." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't see enough of Chenxi in her arms, and when she turned around, she saw Huo Yi hugging Lin Sansi, and the smile of relief in her eyes became thicker and thicker, she was not a old-fashioned and feudal person, on the contrary, the scene of happiness and lingering love of her children and grandchildren was what she would like to see.

The Queen Mother motioned to Sister-in-law Li and the others with her eyes, and then quietly walked out of the main house with Chenxi in her arms, leaving Huo Yi and Lin Sansi alone.

Although Huo Yi didn't care about the eyes of others, he was still very concerned about Lin Sansi's feelings, afraid that Lin Sansi would feel embarrassed, so when Fang Caihuang's grandmother and others were in the house, he only hugged her quietly at most, and now that everyone in the house is gone, he can be unscrupulous and do whatever he wants.

Huo Yi pinched Lin Sansi's slippery chin, forced her to look at herself, and said indifferently: "Why didn't you listen to Gu just now?" ”

Lin Sansi's black and white eyes looked straight at Huo Yi, and his lips explained, "...... The person who came was the Queen Mother. ”

"How? The Imperial Grandmother had always cared least about this. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't care, but ......" Lin Sansi's eyes flashed, her long curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and her red lips snorted unconsciously, which was indescribably cute and moving. If it is known by others, it will be said that His Highness does not know how to discipline his insiders, and I don't want His Highness to lose face. ”

Huo Yi's heart moved, it turned out that she insisted on standing at the door to greet the imperial grandmother regardless of the wind and cold! Huo Yi sighed silently, leaned over and kissed Lin Sansi's red lips, his lips and teeth were entangled, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Fool, if you are alone, what if you are told by the world." ”

Lin Sansi was almost out of breath when she was kissed by Huo Yi, and wanted to reach out and push him away, but the other party's strength was obviously too much for her, so that as soon as her hand used her strength, she was tightly grabbed by him.

Huo Yi let go of Lin Sansi's soft lips, turned over and pressed her against his body, his slender index finger caressed her lips lovingly, and said with a hoarse smile: "It's only been a day without practice, so you can't stick to it?" Well? That sound was mixed with too much bewitchment, which made Lin Sansi confused for a while.

Lin Sansi turned his head and said embarrassedly: "The Queen Mother is still in the house!" ”

"It's okay, the imperial grandmother hopes that you will give her another great-granddaughter."

Lin Sansi's small fist hit Huo Yi's chest weakly: "Your Highness! ”

Huo Yi held her hand and said, "Have you rested?" ”

Lin Sansi was puzzled: "Huh? ”

Huo Yi stared at a smiling face close at hand, and said, "I have to make up for the practice that I have pulled down in the past few days, and I must practice diligently." ”

Lin Sansi: "......" still let her rest well?

&

The Queen Mother likes her great-grandson Huo Chenxi too much, even if Xiao Chenxi sleeps silently most of the time, and has no interaction with her, she doesn't care, as long as she can sit on the edge of the cradle and look at him, this sitting is several hours, so that it is dark, and she is not willing to go back.

If it weren't for the news in the palace that the queen mother suddenly vomited blood and fainted, I'm afraid the queen mother really planned to sleep in the prince's mansion.

Although Huo Yi was not from the queen's mother, as the crown prince, he had to be present when such a major event happened, so he immediately told Sister-in-law Li and others to serve Lin Sansi carefully, and went to the palace with the queen mother.

The whole harem has become a mess of porridge, the most unlucky is the imperial doctors in the hospital, only in the morning was reprimanded by His Royal Highness the Prince, fortunately, the danger was saved, the prince's mansion was born to the emperor's eldest grandson, and the imperial doctors were also rewarded; Who would have thought that just at night, the queen mother had an accident here, and suddenly vomited blood in the evening, and then fell unconscious, although it was suspected that it was poisoned, but for a while he couldn't find out why the poison was caused, and he was scolded by King Liang for a bloody dog.

After all, it is the place of the harem women, so after Huo Yi entered the door, he only stayed in the front hall like several other princes, and did not enter the inner hall, and the other princes were all around King Liang, and they were relieved, but Huo Yi stood in the hall with a cold figure, without saying a word, everyone knew that he had always been cold, and it was not strange to see this, and it also made some people who had no power and heart give up the idea of wanting to cling to him.

King Ning is also in the group of princes who are comforted, his mother and concubine Xiangui have always been at odds with the queen, and the queen has been fighting for favor in the harem for a long time, so there are many estrangements between him and King Liang, and the two are competing for the position of the prince, which is even more incompatible. This time it is unusual, which makes people wonder; Even his mother, Concubine Xiangui, was different from the past, hearing that the queen was in a coma, she led the harem concubines to visit to show her sisterly affection, and her concern was also very puzzled.

Huo Yi looked coldly at the scheming people in the hall, a cold and weird smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then he walked out of the Mingxin Hall and walked towards the Queen Mother's Fushou Palace.

It was a cold winter, and it was late at night, naturally it was an extremely cold temperature, and the silence on the cobblestone road was terrifying, except for Song Jingyang, Huo Yi didn't let others follow, and the two of them walked forward one after the other.

Song Jingyang wrapped the cloak on his body tightly as he walked, and turned his head to see Huo Yi's face indifferent, his eyebrows clear, and he didn't seem to be cold at all.

"Your Highness, are you not cold? The subordinates let people carry the sedan chair, there is still a way to Fushou Palace. ”

"Not necessarily." Huo Yi's voice was cold, he opened his mouth to exhale a hot breath, raised his eyebrows, and ordered: "You don't have to accompany Gu, go and inform why Biqi, you can check the recent whereabouts of Concubine Xian and King Ning, and who they have contacted." After a pause, he said, "There is also King An, who has just returned to Beijing." ”

"Your Highness suspects that the Empress has something to do with them?" Song Jingyang clasped his hands together, put them to his mouth and sighed: "This is not logical, the hatred between the virtuous concubine and the queen mother for so many years has not been ruthless, and it is too lacking in heart to start at this time, right?" ”

Huo Yi's eyes were fixed: "Lone guess is Xi'er's reason." ”

“？” Xi'er? Song Jingyang was even more confused, revealing an expression that Your Highness was not joking, and said, "Little boy? Is it okay for him to be born this morning? I can't speak yet! ”

Huo Yi sneered and snorted: "Lone has lifted the ban and restored his status as a prince; King Liang has the support of the queen and is responsible for supervising the country; Although the virtuous concubine has the favor of her father, but her father's body is not as good as day by day, when he saw him alone this morning, he was already a little confused, thinking alone, what he said to his father in the morning, now he is afraid that he no longer remembers. Huo Yi stood with his hands in his hands and said, "Who do you think is more at a disadvantage in the current shape?" ”

"King Ning, of course." Song Jingyang is also a smart person, as soon as Huo Yi said this, he understood, and after thinking about it for a while, his heart was even more transparent. "His Royal Highness means that King Ning chose this time to make a move, and it was a last resort. Now the shape is critical, you and King Liang must eradicate a person, and you have just lifted the ban, and you have given birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, naturally the focus of the Southern Night Kingdom, he can't attack you at this time, so he can only choose to do it to King Liang, and to deal with King Liang, as long as the queen mother falls, King Liang will naturally fall. ”

Huo Yi's eyes showed a viciousness, and the darkness in his eyes was even darker than this night: "You're not stupid." ”

Song Jingyang scratched his head: "Haven't you been with Your Highness for a long time, and I've learned some of the essence of the fur." ”

Huo Yi glanced at Song Jingyang, and he immediately stood up straight obediently.

Huo Yi lightly ordered: "Go, time is urgent, we must find out the truth before King Ning finds out." ”

"King Ning investigates the case? He is the mastermind behind the scenes, what else is he investigating? ”

Huo Yi sneered, and said lightly: "If he doesn't check, how can he show his face in front of his father?" Didn't he act in such a good show in vain, and he also took the life of the queen's mother. "How could he waste the kindness of King Ning and Concubine Xian in vain, he will definitely give them a big gift!

Song Jingyang's mouth opened and his jaw was about to fall: "Your Highness, you tell your subordinates, are you watching from the sidelines when they are doing these things?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Huo Yi glanced at Song Jing slightly, and said, "Go quickly, I'm too late to waste you." ”

Song Jingyang put away his smiling face and said, "Your subordinates obey the order, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

Song Jingyang turned around and just left, when he saw that the figure was about to disappear, he was called back by Huo Yi.

"Come back."

Song Jingyang ran back, tired and panting: "Your Highness, is there anything else?" ”

Huo Yi put his hands behind his back, his tall figure looked extremely cold and arrogant in the moonlight, the arc of his side face was extremely handsome, but his voice was much softer than just now. "Let's go to the house first, and pass on Gu's words to let her rest early, so she doesn't have to wait for Gu."

Song Jingyang: "......"

Who said just now that the investigation of King Ning and Concubine Xian was urgent? Now how can he go back to the prince's mansion first to spread such irrelevant words? Your Highness, you are really ...... Can't tell the difference between the urgency and the slowness of things? Can't you just change someone?

Seeing Song Jingyang standing in place stunned, Huo Yi glanced at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to send someone to accompany you again?" Well? ”

"......" Song Jingyang was frightened by Huo Yisen's cold expression and cold tone, and hurriedly said, "No need, my subordinates will go." ”
